First (and only) install was a Chicago beta... I was working as a Banyan VINES administrator at the time and needed to test the VINES client under the upcoming W95.
Apple isn't perfect by any means but at least they put the time and energy into actually trying to do the right things. They make mistakes - like everyone else - but at least there's some forethought.
We've got ~20 of them. Those SuperClusters really DO kick some ass though... when you get random users calling up saying "I don't know what you guys did but we've never had performance like this in 20 years" - yeah, color me impressed.
Isn't cheap, but a ton cheaper than second system effect.
They both have OpenVPN built in, so use that. Then you have a NAS for centralized backups (because if you're managing remotely you want to make sure they're stuff is backed up, right?) and your VPN connectivity.
Win win situation. If you get creative, you can even cross-replicate the NAS's so you have a true offsite backup.
Apple doesn't enter a market unless they see the ability to innovate and change it. They aren't always first movers, but they DO bring innovation and of course profits to any segment they enter.
The magic is in saying "NO" to doing things that don't make sense... entering a crowded, unimaginative, razor-thin margin, mature TV market doesn't make sense for Apple. That's why they said no.... No more, no less.
I once managed a department website - back in the mid 90s - and anytime you added someone named Fred to the administrative directory, it set their photo to Fred Sanford and started playing the theme to Sanford & Son.
Some of the most successful IT shops I've ever worked in have been 'build' vs. 'buy' shops. They get tremendous cost advantage from having internally-developed tools that exactly meet the needs of their business.
We're running app stacks at full line rate on 40GbE using today's hardware. A dual-socket sandy bridge server (I.e. HP DL380) has no problem driving that kind of bandwidth. Look up Intel DPDK or 6Windgate if you want to learn a thing or two.
It's real, it works, and we're getting ready to start 100GbE testing.
The iPhone 3GS is older (coming up on 3 1/2 years) and is still very much usable. In fact, it even supports the latest release of the operating system.

ZOC is hands down my favorite terminal emulator.
Best emulation, including ANSI. Full scrollback buffers. Zmodem support. Runs on OS/2 *AND* OS X. Love it.
Bah, forget NetWare, VINES and StreetTalk did everything you ask for and then some way before NDS was even a thought.
VINES' ACL's were beautifully granular ...
First (and only) install was a Chicago beta ... I was working as a Banyan VINES administrator at the time and needed to test the VINES client under the upcoming W95.
At home, I used OS/2.
At work, I switched to a SPARCstation.
Tells you what I thought of W95 and Microsoft.
Sound policy that I still follow today.
My thoughts exactly.
The difference between making a piece of hardware and making the whole widget.
I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to identify which approach I prefer.
I know that it's all the rage to crap on Apple, but compare this "approach" to security vs Apple's approach ...

THEIR, not they're. Stupid autocorrect.
Get a small NAS, such as a QNAP or Synology.
They both have OpenVPN built in, so use that. Then you have a NAS for centralized backups (because if you're managing remotely you want to make sure they're stuff is backed up, right?) and your VPN connectivity.

Because they have half a clue ...

Solaris Zones comes to Windows.
Welcome to 2005.
Why am I the only one completely unimpressed with Docker? It feels like a hacked together Solaris to me .... no thanks, I'll take the real deal.

Mid 90s PHP was fun...
Ooh, it finally just came to me -- XIRCOM Parallel-to-Ethernet adapter. Forgot about those puppies... they were badass back in the day.
LapLink over parallel.
Or a PCMCIA Ethernet card.
Or a PCMCIA Compact Flash reader.
So many ways ....
Oh, please...
Used IT gear has been sold professionally for as long as there's been IT gear.
This is just a crappy ad for another Johnny-come-lately vendor.
That makes an AirPort Extreme seem like a bargain ... And it's no bargain.
(I do own one though!)
I disagree.

Done right, it works very, very well.
Depends on your definition of proximity.
RF fingerprinting requires the phone to be somewhere cellular coverage is available.
Not too many places outside Antarctica (and not even there) where that's not the case.
Cell phones have been identifiable by RF fingerprinting for many, many years.
Was a common anti-fraud technique in the analog cellular days.
Replying to myself, but just to prove the theory .... even huge companies are going this route.

Forget maintaining / rolling your own. Doesn't make ANY sense, especially when this thing got dropped in your lap.
Salesforce.com for CRM.
Workday for ERP.
Sleep at night. Priceless.
You are so wrong it isn't even funny.

None of this would be necessary if you just used HP-UX!
The Moto Droid is not even 3 years old yet ...

But Apple's the evil, money-grubbing one, right?
